6wd, 2kg spinner with a mag? So 540 with a magmotor......I look forward to seeing that one

Cheers PJ, a fair few I didn't recognise on the list as I wasn't at last years champs.

Incidentally, I'll be bringing 540 for whiteboards and funsies. Means that boner doesn't have to fight outside the main competition

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Eric Jr2 - Tony's flipper made from the old Rip chassis
Cicatrix - Tony's 4WD ram bot that always breaks down.

1. Correct, FP now though
2. Since the second battle of the 2011 UK Champs Cicatrix has still been running at the end of every battle

Will get some photos up when I have some, Cicatrix still looks exactly the same though
